We were in town for a dance convention and after the long drive from CT we were all starving. We ended up at Francescos and we did not regret it! My friend and I couldn't decide so ordered the chicken piccatta and the chicken crispino to share, and our kids ordered a chicken parm and a chicken Ceasar salad. Everything was soo fresh and delicious! If we are ever in the area again we will definitely come back.

It was a cramped little restaurant. We had to wait quite a while for a waitress to get to our table after being seated. I got a broccoli rabe and shrimp pasta meal. It was terrible, just an overwhelmingly bitter plate of food because the broccoli rabe was so overcooked and tainted the flavor of the entire meal. Portions were big and the the other 2 meals at the table were fine.
